2. With the key switch OFF, check the hour meter display. It is powered by an internal battery and should
always be on, even with the engine off and the key removed.
3. Start the engine and let it idle. See following DANGER.

DANGER
• Do not operate vehicle in an enclosed area without proper ventilation. The engine produces
carbon monoxide, which is an odorless, deadly poison.
4. With engine idling, the "hour glass" icon should flash. If not, check the low oil warning light and the oil
pressure switch. See following NOTE. See also Test Procedure 27 – Low Oil Warning Light Circuit
on page 11c-44.
NOTE: The hour meter is designed to record actual engine running time and will not start adding incre-
ments until the engine is running and the oil pressure switch has opened.
5. If the hour meter still does not function after the low oil warning light, oil pressure switch, and all of the
appropriate wires have been checked for continuity, replace the fuel gauge/hour meter.
TEST PROCEDURE 32 – LIGHT SWITCH
See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
NOTE: The headlight circuit is protected by the 20-amp fuse. Check the fuse before this procedure is per-
formed.
See Test Procedure 2 – Fuse on page 11c-16.
Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in NEUTRAL. Chock
the wheels.
2. Raise the hood.
3. Press the upper and lower retaining tabs and push the light switch out of the instrument panel.
4. Use a multimeter set to 20 volts DC and place alligator clips on the multimeter probes. Connect the red
(+) probe to the light switch terminal where the blue wire (w03) is connected (Figure 11c-46,
Page 11c-50) .
5. Connect the black (–) probe of the multimeter to the negative (–) post of the battery.
6. With the light switch in the OFF position, the reading should indicate 0 volts. With the light in the ON posi-
tion, the reading should indicate between 11 and 12.5 volts. If the there is no voltage reading, check the
continuity of the 10-gauge red wire (w126) from the fuse block to the starter solenoid. Check the conti-
nuity of the 14-gauge yellow wire (w07) and the 14-gauge blue wires (w08 and w113) from the light switch
to the fuse block. Check the fuse.
See Test Procedure 2 – Fuse on page 11c-16. If the wires and fuse
show continuity and the readings are still incorrect, replace the switch. See Light Switch Removal,
Section 12c, Page 12c-9.
